Hispanic Chamber Of Commerce Silicon Valley

Advocacy

The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Silicon Valley (HCCSV) is a strong and consistent voice for Hispanic businesses at the local, state, and national levels. Through strategic alliances and direct engagement, we advocate for policies that promote economic equity, entrepreneurial opportunity, and inclusive growth.

HCCSV has a proven track record of championing the needs of our community alongside powerful networks such as the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce (CHCC) (www.cahcc.com/) and the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC). These partnerships allow us to ensure that the concerns of Silicon Valley’s Latino business community are heard in Sacramento and Washington, D.C.

We are active members of the La Raza Roundtable of California, supporting its mission to advance civic participation, justice, and economic empowerment for Latino communities across the region. Locally, we are also engaged in the Silicon Valley Chamber Coalition, working with peer organizations to influence public policy and promote a more inclusive economic agenda for all.

As members of the Western Association of Chamber Executives (WACE), we stay connected to best practices and leadership initiatives that strengthen our capacity to advocate effectively on behalf of small and minority-owned businesses.
